I'm not really a comedian, innit; I just naturally say things which people class as funny.

Especially in our industry, everything is so prim and proper; you'll never really see anyone show their sad side, because everyone wants to be perfect.

'The Big Narstie Show' is, basically, Channel 4 gave me a good amount of dough to be myself.

The only way you can learn is by analysing yourself and taking in your mistakes.

My kitchen is an imitation, really, of my mum's, except for the big American fridge.

How can I care about needing a visa to travel if the furthest I'm going to travel is the town centre? For a person to care about Brexit - it's only for people who are in a certain state of mind.

With some things, karma is good enough. Lessons come back in different ways, you know what I mean?

No, I wouldn't let Trump on my stage... I'd just rather fight him in the car park.

If I haven't rested, or I haven't slept or had food or done the normal basic things as a human being, how could I stand in front of a camera and do stuff, you know what I mean? It's mad!

I wasn't meant to be famous. I've been blessed.

The only diversity in the Brits is with the Americans. I've been saying this for a while: for our country to do good, we need to embrace our country.

Grime's always been big at festivals. Grime's always had an underground crew.

I come from Lambeth, Brixton.

When I'm romantic, I'll make minted lamb. Yeah, man, I do have my romantic moments.

I'm gonna show the world how to do proper football reporting, Narstie-style.

I am very thankful and blessed that I haven't had to sell my soul and be anything that I'm not.

Everyone uses grime as a footstool, but imagine Biggie Smalls started doing hip hop, and it started going well, and then he started making RnB: there would be no hip hop!

Being an artist comes with responsibility as well. You want people to come to your shows and feel safe.

Going back about 10 years ago, the only thing a black kid could do to get out of the ghetto was being a sports star. Now we can add music to that, which is a good achievement in itself.

I'm lucky; I've been raised with the right morals.
